Gillian Lee CranioSacral Therapy, Cork City
Hello, my name is Gillian Lee. I work from the Blackrock Medical Centre, Skehard road in Cork and specialise in the following areas:
and will shortly be adding reflexology to my list of treatments! During my day to day work at the clinic I see a range of people from infants & children to adults & the elderly with various conditions. I also help people with sports injuries and people who simply want to improve their general health & wellbeing (which can be achieved through a combination of massage & craniosacral therapy). I am a qualified craniosacral therapist, massage therapist, and am also trained in visceral manipulation - more about that later! Craniosacral therapy is a light touch manual therapy which works with restrictions in the craniosacral system (the membranes and fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord). It is a gentle therapy that encourages the body to correct dysfunction and imbalance that potentially affect health and function. A person is fully clothed during treatment which can last from 30 minutes up to an hour. Longer sessions are available if required. I also work with craniosacral therapy in the pool which can provide a very relaxing atmosphere. Every session of craniosacral therapy is unique as every person who comes into the clinic is unique. I have worked successfully with babies and children with a range of issues. With 3 young children myself I am very comfortable treating children! Some issues with children include:
Adults can also benefit greatly from many emotional and stress related issues such as migraine, neck and back pain, chronic fatigue, to name a few. I often find that craniosacral therapy and visceral manipulation work well together. What is visceral manipulation? ‘Visceral’ relates to the internal organs such as kidneys, liver, bladder, & stomach. It is a hands on therapy and addresses specific structural imbalances. The techniques are quite gentle and encourage normal movement, tone, and internal movement of organs, their supporting structures, fascia, nerves, and blood vessels. Emotional issues often affect our internal equilibrium. These issues can also be addressed during a session. My initial training is in massage and aromatherapy which I quite regularly use for treating many conditions from sports injuries, chronic aches and pains, stress and related conditions. I use aromatherapy oils tailored to each individual client. Sessions can take from 30 minutes to an hour and a half depending on what is required. Quite often clients come to me for body maintenance – for the overall health and wellbeing. So that’s it..! A brief summary of the treatments and conditions I help improve. Contact details: I look forward to meeting you. Please feel free to ring me at any stage or make an appointment with the clinic: Blackrock Medical Centre, 74 Skehard Road, Blackrock, Cork.
